‘There was once ONE Happy Lion who lived in the zoo of a little French town. Then there were TWO Happy Lions, and that’s better than one, because two is company. Then … one day … there were THREE Happy Lions…’
The proud parents are delighted with their new cub. But what profession could he have? How can they help launch him into the world?
‘The Three Happy Lions has been re-published for a new generation to enjoy. Set in France this story includes themes of family dynamics, individuality and being true to yourself. Well done Scallywag Press re-introducing us to these gems’ Book and Gift Blogger
‘The bold colours of Duvoisin’s mid-century artwork are as striking and as engaging as they were on their first publication, and his sense of movement and composition is second to none. Louise Fatio’s text too is full of warmth and humour and its sprinkling of French phrases charming – a lovely opportunity for the very young to experience another language.’ Books for Keeps
‘With its occasional French phrases and its enchanting illustrations it’s good to see this book back in print again. I loved The Happy Lion as a child but was not familiar with this story of being true to yourself.’ Red Reading Hub
‘More than 50 years after its publication, this sweet story about a gentle lion looking for a friend that won't run away in fear still has the power to enchant readers’ Booktrust
